The first episode of Amazon's newest original series, which is based on a 2011 movie, is also available to stream for the next day.

Amazon has debuted a teaser trailer for Hanna, the original series based on the 2011 movie of the same name, and offered a limited window of time to see the first episode in full before the entire season is released.

The first look at the series, which is set to a haunting cover of the Smashing Pumpkins' “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” performed by Karen O, sets up its central premise: the titular character has been raised from infancy to be a lethal spy and assassin.

"You will always be underestimated, overlooked, and ignored," says Hanna's mentor over a montage of her training in an isolated forest. "Use that, and be the girl that no one saw coming."

Hanna was first imagined by director Joe Wright as a dramatic stand-alone thriller, starring Saoirse Ronan as Hanna. David Farr, who wrote the film's screenplay, is returning as a producer on the television series.

The trailer includes a link to the first episode of the series, which is available for Prime members for the 24 hours following the Super Bowl only.

Hanna is created by David Farr and stars Esme Creed-Miles, Mireille Enos, and Joel Kinnaman. The full season will air on Amazon Prime Video in March.
